It ought to be considered. I will make sure it's discussed at the next board
meeting. I am not well versed in US associations law, but I don't believe
much of our financial data would need to be confidential (either for the
board's benefit or for legal reasons - there *may* be some privacy issues in
there).

The above item is about budgetary planning more than performance. I think
performance/historical information is probably more relevant to the
membership.

Thanks,
